When Are the Bands Playing at the Boise Music Fest

We’ve been talking about it and excited about it for so many months now that it’s hard to believe the Boise Music Fest is this weekend. With seven mainstage artists and dozens of other local bands on the five smaller stages at Expo Idaho on Saturday, the 27th, it’s going to be an amazing day.

It even looks like Mother Nature is excited for the show and won’t be bringing too much heat.

What Times Does Each Artist Take the Stage at the Boise Music Fest

Since we already know who is going to be playing the mainstage this year, the real question has been when they will take the stage, and now we have the answer. Here’s the order for the headliners and when they should start playing.

Doors open for the Boise Music Fest at 10 AM, and the concerts are scheduled to run until 10 PM. Tickets can be purchased online or at the event, but we also have one more free ticket stop this Friday in Twin Falls, where you could score a pair of tickets while they last.

If you have never been to the Boise Music Fest, there are some things you should know about the venue before you go. Kids 8 years old and under get in free with an adult, and you’ll need to plan for food and water. No coolers, outside drinks, or food allowed in the venue, but empty water bottles can be filled inside Expo Idaho and there will be more than 40 food vendors on site. You can bring a lawn chair, but not a pop-up tent or umbrella.

After the BMF this weekend, don’t put away your concert excitement. The Western Idaho Fair is coming up in August with a pretty impressive lineup.
